How to Choose Good Sticky Rice
- Choose sticky rice grains that are large and uniform in size, opaque white, shiny on the outside, and not broken.
- Avoid sticky rice grains that are dusty, fuzzy, or yellow in color.
- Additionally, good sticky rice will have a natural aroma, characteristic of the rice variety. In contrast, sticky rice that has been stored for a long time often loses its scent and won’t retain its deliciousness when cooked.
- You can taste the sticky rice with your mouth; if it has a slight sweetness and no strange smell, then it is good sticky rice.

- Brown sugar is often used to add sweetness, color, and enhance the flavor of dishes, drinks, cakes, ….
